FA: JaVale McGee 3yrs/$17.2M to DAL | will indeed start at center

[ItsGoTime]

Oversimplified.

Switching Looney on Doncic is a better option than switching McGee on Curry.
On offense McGee has no real advantage over players like Looney or even Maxi. Not like McGee is a high volume/efficiency post player.
You just highlighted the big problem for the Mavs. With McGee on the floor they would have to change the entire defensive scheme. Looney has no post game and cannot shoot. He is on the floor because he allows the Warriors to switch everything on defense without giving up to much size in the paint. They get the best of both worlds and don´t have to change the scheme.
The problem was the Mavs switching bigs onto guys like Curry or Thompson. Exposing the paint. Often having a wing or guard trying to boxout a bigger player.

Oversimplified, but they lost playing that way, do you continue to then play that way?
